“I remember one Christian festival where an interviewer wanted one of the guys to share his testimony. In 12 years of touring with As I Lay Dying, I would say maybe one in 10 Christian bands we toured with were actually Christian bands.” “We toured with more ‘Christian bands’ who actually aren’t Christians than bands that are. Lambesis said As I Lay Dying wasn’t alone in the charade. Those kids need to hear about real life, because they live in a bubble’.” We’re just singing about real life stuff. Like, ‘Well, we’re not passing along any bad ideas. The two who remained kind of stopped talking about it, and then I’m pretty sure they dropped it, too.” “We talked about whether to keep taking money from the ‘Christian market’. “I actually wasn’t the first guy in As I Lay Dying to stop being a Christian,” Lambesis explained in a lengthy interview with Alternative Press. Lambesis is also at the beginning of a six-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to hiring a hitman to kill his ex-wife, which means he has very little to lose at this point.
